After gaining a first class music degree from UEA in 2004 I worked for the Music Department as a research assistant for two years before starting my own research. I'm currently a full-time Ph.D student at Goldsmiths College, University of London where I also do a small amount of teaching work (mainly undergraduate programming).
Projects I've worked on:
An online database of artists working with new media. I re-worked an original PHP/MySQL database, altering both the database schema to improve normalisation and provide a better model of the concepts it encapsulates as well as the Web interface to provide some features which the project leader, Dr. Simon Waters, wanted such as always-visible listings and a full-text search.
ARiADA (Applied Research in Aesthetics in the Digital Arts) is an ongoing research project at the UEA Electroacoustic Studios and ARiADAtexts is its peer-reviewed on-line journal. I worked on code to automate the Web presentation of editions of the journal (starting with edition #5). Another edition is currently in "press".
The CURSUS projects makes available a number of medieval liturgical manuscripts in a Web-ready manner by encoding them using a TEI-derived XML markup dialect. I worked on this project to provide a full-text search facility (using Swish-e) and Pycoon, an XML web publishing framework.
I am working as a consultant to the Britten-Pears Foundation in their project produce a Web interface to a new thematic catalogue of the works of Benjamin Britten.
SnapeScape Online is a Web-delivered soundscape of environmental sounds from Snape, Suffolk, UK. The project was conceived by Mike Challis and funded by Aldebugh Music. I developed the server-side audio processing and Web components (using Python) and the user interface Java applet. The project is now off-line (as of April 2008).
